这是一个开发二维、时间 相关的有限元模型来解释构造热 地中海第勒尼安盆地的历史。 的 横向热传输的影响，岩石圈的刚性， 和沉积物负荷将包括在内。的分析 产热和热性能的不确定性， 执行。 将计算温度和沉降历史 并与ODP 107航次的数据进行了比较 以及其他地质和地球物理数据。 结果应该是 各种概念模型的数量限制 这些盆地的演化。 %%% 沉积盆地的演化具有根本性的 地质学的重要性。 这些盆地往往是 石油和矿产资源。 王博士开发了 复杂的温度和构造的数值模型 沉积盆地演化 来自美国的详细数据显示， 第勒尼安盆地将为他的模型提供有用的约束 并提供了一个详细的时间演变的图片， 特殊的盆地。

This is a project to develop two-dimensional, time dependent, finite element models to explain the tectono-thermal history of the Tyrrhenian Basin in the Mediterranean Sea. The effects of lateral heat transport, rigidity of the lithosphere, and sediment loading will be included. An analysis of the uncertainties on heat production and thermal properties will be performed. Temperature and subsidence history will be calculated at different times and compared with the data from ODP Leg 107 and other geologic and geophysical data. The results should put quantitative constraints on various conceptual models for the evolution of such basins. %%% The evolution of sedimentary basins is of fundamental importance in geology. Such basins are often the sites of petroleum and mineral resources. Dr. Wang has developed sophisticated numerical models for the thermal and tectonic evolution of sedimentary basins. The detailed data from the Tyrrhenian basin will provide useful constraints on his models and provide a detailed picture of the time evolution of this particular basin.
